Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in its latest data has showed that domestic air passenger traffic increased by 8.98 percent to 12.36 million in February 2020 as compared to the same month in 2019, due to airlines offering promotional fares resulting in increased demand. However, it said the rise in the number of domestic air passengers for January was just 2.2 percent when compared with January 2019 figures.
According to the data, passenger load factors (PLF), a measure of capacity utilisation, of all major airlines -- Air India, SpiceJet, GoAir, IndiGo, AirAsia India and Vistara -- increased in February as compared to previous month. With 83.4 percent, AirAsia India was number one in on-time performance (OTP) measured at four metro cities -- Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. IndiGo at 81.6 percent and GoAir at 78.6 percent were number two and three respectively on OTP performance at these four cities.
Data further indicated that IndiGo maintained its lead position with 48 percent share of the domestic passenger market in February 2020. SpiceJet's market share decreased from 16.6 percent in January to 15.3 percent in February, even as it retained the number two spot. The market share of Air India, GoAir, AirAsia India and Vistara was 12 percent, 10 percent, 7.3 percent and 6.7 percent respectively last month.
